Chapter 286: The Beginning of Change
While Ryan and Rose Crystal were busy, the outside world changed. This Ryan and the people settled in the town, and a vision gradually appeared in the sky above the supreme shepherd's temple.
In this cloudless night sky, a ray of purple light came out and turned into a pillar of light and stood above the temple, like a bridge between heaven and earth. At the same time, a gentle wind blew on the grass sea all around. It's summer, and the town on the edge of the Raza Hills feels hot and humid. But the wind was cool, and the people in the town felt extremely comfortable and cool.
The awakened townsfolk ran out of their homes to the temple, only to find that the temple was covered in an eggshell-like transparent purple light shield that isolated them from the temple.
What they don't know is that in all the temples dedicated to the Supreme Shepherd, there are big and small movements. The statues of the gods, whether they were wood, stone, extremely delicate or extremely rough, were transformed into a young girl in a gorgeous purple dress, the girl held an amethyst sword in her right hand and a curved shepherd staff in her left hand, but unlike the cane in the hands of the gods in the past, the shepherd's staff in the god's hand was inlaid with a purple crystal ball. It looks more like a staff.
"Is this what the gods feel? Fortunately, my soul is not just my own. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have been lost. Rose Crystal knelt in front of Ryan, closing her eyes and feeling the change in herself.
In the space of an hour, with Ryan's help, the Rose Crystal successfully ignited the divine fire. But unlike normal gods with Divine Fire as the core, she is only operating Divine Fire instead of merging with Divine Fire. This allows her to use divine power at a certain distance from the true gods of faith. But it's not a flaw in a world without gods.
At the same time, if it does not merge with the Divine Fire, the Rose Crystal will not be able to use the power of this world as wantonly as a normal god. On the other hand, she doesn't have to be bound to this world like those gods, but can leave at any time. It's just that when you leave, you will lose all your power as a god. However, the transformed body and the knowledge mastered can be used even in other worlds, and even with the help of the pre-stored Heavenly Silver to release magic in other worlds, of course, the effect will be much worse. It may even be ineffective in some worlds.
In the process of ascending to the gods, the appearance of the rose crystal has not changed, but the temperament has become much more noble and majestic. However, under the premise that Kamui is ineffective against Ryan, he thinks that the little puppet looks more cute with a straight face and trying to make a serious appearance.
In addition to her temperament, the clothes on her body have also changed. The original dress was reorganized into a simple and charming purple dress, and a crystal sword and cane appeared in her hands. On his head, he wore a crown composed of amethyst that resembled a flower crown.
"Brother, I succeeded, I think I can help you now. With that, Rose Crystal stood up and gave Ryan an elegant skirt salute.
"Are you alright? Ryan looked a little nervous.
"Believe in yourself, brother. The little doll gave a somewhat awkward smile.
After some examination, the two men broke away from the spirit realm. When Ryan's soul had just returned to his body, he was surprised to find countless fires shining outside the window. It looks like the movement just made is a bit big.
"Ah, it seems that the magic I just summoned them over has succeeded, so let's lay the foundation for development in this world now. Behind him, the voice of the rose crystal came from behind.
After a while, purple light flashed, and the rose crystal changed into the same outfit as a god just now, and then opened the door and floated out.
The rest of the matter was logical, and for the first time, under the banner of the High Faun, the Lazarins of the Raza Wilderness were united and had their leader.
Because the gods are high, Lane, the elder brother of the gods, naturally became the king of the Lazarins. This is completely different from the previous situation when he was a general or one of several leaders, and all the hopes of a race were held in his hands.
Ryan came to this world in June of the year 297 of the Dragon calendar, and according to the information he had gathered, everything was normal on the continent of Westeros, except for King Robert's excessive debts.
However, Ryan didn't know when the king was hung, so knowing the date was useless to Ryan. In his eyes, the most important thing now is to organize the Lazarins in the Raza wilderness, and then plant a field for a while to accumulate strength and then push away the two evil neighbors. Only in this way will it be more convenient to do anything in this world after having a solid base.
The world's specialty pure natural cattle and sheep are very popular in the world of plants vs. zombies and the world of radiation, the former only grows beef and mutton, but there is a certain difference in taste with natural beef. And the meat of the latter's two-headed cow really can't be called beef. When beef from the world of ice and fire was first brought to the table, the Knight couple was sure to have sold it out after tasting it. In addition to this, the large number of flora and fauna in this world also provides enough biological samples for both worlds. And no matter which world it is, there is a lot of interest in the dragons and other creatures that Ryan is talking about.
Of course, in this kind of trading. Reinforced concrete fortress cities have also begun to stand in the Raza Wilderness with the help of steam robots, in addition to large mechanized farms, energy towers, differential machines, and a host of other things. With the development and utilization of local mineral deposits, new machines are being produced.
And the most valuable resource that Ryan has obtained is more than five thousand synths. They voluntarily wash away their old memories and come to this world to start a new life. Although Ryan warns them to wash out their memories after turning on the phone is another person, another soul. But they would rather die than live with false identities and memories.
But it is also thanks to this that Ryan can introduce so many talents in one go, after all, any independent soul intelligent life needs an offset point to pass through the space gate, and Ryan's offset point is not enough for the space gate to allow so many people to pass through.
With the cooperation of these people and the memory infusion machine obtained from the academy, the cultural level of the Lazarin people has increased rapidly. At the same time, it has further promoted the development of productive forces in the region.
In the third month of Lane's arrival, with the help of a large number of steam robots and transcendent plants, more than two dozen walled and fortified cities were built in the Raza Wilderness, and many attacks by mercenaries and small groups of Dothraki were successfully repulsed. According to those indigenous officials, this month was the first in centuries in which there were virtually no abductions of Lazarin.
But Ryan knew that both the slave city-states in the west and the Dothraki in the north should already know about the changes that had taken place in the land. Although the spread of information in this era is slow, they may not be able to know the specific changes that have taken place in this land. But in any case, they would never want to see the Lazarins develop at their behest before, so war would be inevitable.
In order to avoid fighting on both sides, Ryan and his subordinates decided to defeat the enemy in one direction first. Given that if you go to war with the Dothraki, you will need to run to the vast sea of grass and play hide-and-seek with a group of nomadic cavalry, and the time and effort may not completely solve the problem. Everyone is more inclined to take out the slave city-states first.
Each of these slave city-states was small, and the high walls they had built on were not enough to be an obstacle under the bombardment of steam cannons and exploding cherries. On top of that, the Skazadan River in the Raza Heath is passable for boats up to 800 tons, and the downstream of this river is Meereen. With the help of water transportation, it is very convenient for both troop mobilization and logistics.
Soon the order was given, and the assembled 8,000 soldiers and a large number of robots successively boarded the steamboats on the river's docks along the Skazadan River.
The steam fleet consisted of 65 550-ton river steamships and 15 600-ton steamboats. With the support of the two industrialized worlds, these ships were built in just over a month. Even when these ships were first transported into this world, it was considered a miracle, because no one in this land had ever seen such a large steel creature float on water, or even sail without wind and oars.
By the time Ryan arrived at the docks with a group of officers after the departure ceremony, most of the people had already boarded the ship. And Rata, who is now a saint, is making her final prayers for the expeditionary force.
By the time Ryan and the others arrived at the docks, the previous blessing ceremony for the warriors had ended, so Ryan saw Rata blessing the weapons, and she yelled loudly as she rang a brass bell beside her. Push the lever to start the piston and pump...... Pull down the wrench, the boiler ignites, ignites the hearth, and breathes life into it...... Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison and praise the Lord's Most High Crystal ——"
As she chanted, the ship's bells rang and white smoke rose from the chimneys. Except for Ryan, everyone put their right hands on their chests and sang a solemn ballad.
Sure enough, the evolution of technology will be too fast for this kind of thing similar to the Cult of the Mechanicus to appear, of course, this is also related to his wicked taste to bring all kinds of messy knowledge to this world. After reading a large amount of knowledge that he had left in the temple, the priests in the temple made up scriptures based on these things.
Ryan also got one, and it was the first official version of the book. On the cover is written in gilded letters, "The Third Revised Edition of the Crystal Codex". He almost squirted juice out of his mouth when he saw the title, but he accepted the somewhat strange book with the serious looks of the priests. Fortunately, these books are highly rated by everyone, and they also make the morale of the army very high. So Ryan went with the flow.
With the sound of the whistle, the fleet began to depart from the shore. This will be the first time that the Lazarins have fought back after centuries of bullying.
